Open a VS.Net 2003 project in Vs.Net 2002

The company I worked only have licensed copy of Visual Studio .Net 2002 while now most projects on Web are based on VS.Net 2003. For example, FileDisassembly, an addin for File Reflector, generates project file based on 2003 format.
 
Even though I can manually add those source files and make them a new 2002 project, I found it will work if we change two attributes, ProductVersion and SchemaVersion,
 
Before:
  <CSHARP ProjectType="Local" ProductVersion="7.10.3077" SchemaVersion="2.0"
 
After:
<CSHARP ProjectType="Local" ProductVersion="7.0.9466" SchemaVersion="1.0"
